Best small power cat?

[Channel Ribs]

Who makes the best small (sub 7m) motor catamarans?

 

[RobWales]

IMHO,
Cheetah marine at Ventnor on the I.O.W
Superb craft, I've been on a few and stability and performance with small outboards is excellent, speak to the Co owner Shaun Strevens.
They will build from 5.9 mtr to 11mtr plus.
No connection,but a huge fan.

What do you want to use the boat for?

These small power cats all look well thought out :

Survey work, but in the highly tidal and turbulent waters of Alderney. It will also need to be beached easily.

Thanks for all the tips so far.

I will add my vote to cheeta marine cats
Well built extremely nice people to deal with. You can trailer them , and they have sold quite a few to survey companies and in a way they are almost local to you.
